My name is Morgan Bannon, I am a 22 Year old Male from Ireland and I am the Site Super Moderator. I have watched and been a fan of Avatar since it premiered. I am also a news post writer for the site and host the site's podcast, The Avatar Online Podcast. My strength as an Avatar fan would be just a good knowledge of Avatar Canon and characters.

Thanks, i don’t even know how i got to doing all of them, i was asked to do about 4 episodes and other moderators would do 4 each, i saw no one else write any up so i just went mad and did them all,LOL

A pretty long time, I was initially only asked to do about 4-5 of these. With the site’s other moderators doing 4-5 between them. No one else did any so I ended up doing all of them.
So it was over the course of a few days, though it was only a few hours if you put all of the time typing together.
